Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Before requesting, read the protection policy. Full protection is used to stop edit warring between multiple users or to prevent vandalism to high-risk templates; semi-protection and pending changes are usually used to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see the rough guide to semi-protection); and move protection is used to stop pagemove revert wars. Extended confirmed protection is used where semi-protection has proved insufficient (see the rough guide to extended confirmed protection) After a page has been protected, it is listed in the page history and logs with a short rationale, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins should not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.

Current requests for increase in protection level
Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Nearly all articles linked in Template:2022–2023 mpox outbreak should be protected.
Reason: Persistent Vandalism. The same vandal has been consistently adding the same racist word in nearly every article about Mpox. Additionally, they have now branched out into anime related articles. I would request those pages be protected as well. See edits of 2601:46:600:2AF5:4BA0:A68E:F9FC:3C71, 2601:46:600:8df4:e9e6:56bb:47d9:ce40, 2601:40:c600:a9f0:f8f6:d1a0:512b:2ea2, 76.98.200.125, 76.98.202.103, and more. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 04:07, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- Automated comment: @Classicwiki: This request cannot be parsed. Please ensure it follows formatting consistent with the current or previous methods of submission.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 04:07, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- Additionally not all articles have been successfully revdel'ed. Some still require it. If there is a range block that is obvious, that might be useful as well. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 04:09, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
Checking to see if protection is necessary. @Classicwiki: In the future, please list the specific articles with significant disruption. It's only a subset of the articles. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 04:47, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
Not done — that template has not been edited for like 6 months!- Sorry, Daniel Quinlan, missed your checking. El_C 04:50, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level
Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.
- To find out the username of the admin who protected the page click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page" which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
- Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
- Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
- If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected please use the section below.
Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Current requests for edits to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.
- Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among
{{Edit protected}},{{Edit template-protected}},{{Edit extended-protected}}, or{{Edit semi-protected}}to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed. - Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the
{{Edit COI}}template should be used. - Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
- If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
- This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.
2014 Isla Vista killings
I would like to request that someone give this article a serious look through. There are numerous grammatical errors, as if someone who is not a native English speaker wrote it. Errors are primarily subject/verb agreement. 133.130.185.232 (talk) 01:29, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- This isn't really an edit request. Daniel Case (talk) 23:15, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
